I saw SEALS in the titles and instantly thought of the hot males in romances. Ooops! Not that kind of seal.
ReplyDeleteI love the extent you went to in researching this post, Krystalyn.
LOL Oh trust me, I found lots of those type of seals when researching on the internet. =)
DeleteThe only place I’ve ever gone to do research was Dublin (for Milligan and Murphy) and we made the mistake of going on a weekend when most of the place was closed down. On the whole it was a bitter disappointment—full of people from the Continent. In fact the first day we were there the girl on the till in Tesco could barely speak English. I kept waiting to feel something wandering down streets were Beckett would have wandered but they were just streets. I really don’t pick up on vibes. Bought a few good books which were helpful but that was about it. The Internet is the first place I jump to these days. Of course there was no Internet when I wrote my first two books. Then I had to trudge to the library to check my facts. It really is a wonderful tool. Where else can you find the best wine to go with crow in under five minutes because I doubt if it took me much longer to locate that wee gem.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had decent libraries around here to do research. Ours are very small and not well stocked. The Internet is the first place I go now too. How wonderful that you got to go to Dublin though!
DeleteI would love to see them in their natural habitat. When I visited San Francisco, there were so many either seals or sea lions (not sure), it was uncomfortable watching them. Very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteIf they were loud, they were probably sea lions. If they were quiet, they were seals. I'd love to go to San Franciso some day.
DeleteBeing from Seattle originally I love sea lions! This book sounds pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! My dream is to live in the Pacific northwest someday.
DeleteI bet Sea World was a cool place to work. never thought about it, but I guess seals would kind of flop along to move.
ReplyDeleteI loved working at Sea World. The polar bears were my favorite, but seeing as how they're not too friendly, they wouldn't make very good main characters. =)
DeleteI grew up in Oregon and miss seeing the sea lions.
ReplyDeleteLegasea is set in Oregon! My sisters and I want to plan a getaway there soon.
DeleteI saw some sea lions recently after my friends and I took a boat out to a nearby island off the west coast of Australia :) Fun times.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to go places just for writing research, and would do if I could afford it. :)
I wish I could go places just for research as well. We had already planned the trip to San Diego. The seals were just my bonus.
DeleteSea lions sound awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
